What service do you use?

So many companies rely on VPNs they couldn't just throttle them across the board, but I'm sure they can thottle it on a service by service basis. I use Private Internet Access, no company is going to be using that, if the ISP has a way of knowing one VPN service from another I could see this happening.

Yeah, my concern is for subscription based VPNs, not so much the VPNs that companies set up for employee use. I use NordVPN right now.

Amazon and Netflix already block VPN with some effectiveness, so I'm sure ISPs could do utilize similar measures to identify them for throttling. There's some cat and mouse involved and the VPN throttling wouldn't be perfect (I can still connect with Amazon and Netflix sometimes with certain of my VPN's servers) but they could definitely make it a hassle.
